Justin Kolas

This is my Story

My name is Justin Kolas. I am 21 years old and am currently living in Chico, California. I began writing music back when I was a senior in high school. Before that, it was mostly improvising over simple chord structures on the piano, but the lyrics had not come into play at that point. I have never taken vocal lessons, but have been in a few different choirs during lower school as well as in high school and college. I attended the Sierra Waldorf School from 2nd to 8th grade where I really started to love music. Then it wasn’t until my senior year at Sacramento Waldorf High School where I started figuring out this was really what I wanted to do.

Over this past month, I have been lucky enough to start recording my very first album. Mingo Lewis, a world class drummer who used to play for Santana, The Tubes, and many other greats, has been helping me get this all going and is producing this album himself. We have some really amazing sounding songs and are getting really excited to hear what everyone thinks!
